    Calories for Veg / Fruit where is the best place to look them up?

    I agree, I never understood how fruit could be free on WW. I know many people (including my mum) who could eat more then a couple pieces of fruit a day given half a chance. I try not to have grapes very often as I could go a bit OTT with them. I have a thing for Gala apples at the moment...

    Calories for Veg / Fruit where is the best place to look them up?

    Sorry could not see the answer I was after. I have recently (within the last month or so), got more and more into calorie counting as I find it the easiest way to keep track of what I eat (while Weight Watchers did work for me, I lost interested and often ate to much due to hating having to...

    WW rebranded foods

    You need to keep an eye on some of the 99p / £1 shops around. Some still do Weight Watchers bagels, at least some round my way (Romford) do, not sure if that would help as there might still only be 4 bagels in a pack but you never know.

    Dropping PPoints

    No its not the same and it varies with the new plan depending on how many you started with in the first place and how much you lose at a time.

    29points (roughly how many calories is that)

    I was just wondering how many calories does 29points roughly equate to (just an estimate) is it 1200 or maybe 1300 calories? I'm looking to burn roughly 500-1000 calories a day but my hubby said if I'm only eating 1200 calories a day then that's suicide and I might end up giving myself...

    Extra light mayo

    I use the lighter then light (extra light) mayo, its not bad (JMO) I don't use it a lot, only really when I am having a tuna mayo bagel/sandwich and only use a little just so the food doesn't taste so dry. Each to there own though

    Monthly Pass (something I don't get)

    Well it wouldn't surprise me if this stopped people from loosing weight, I mean if a leader only tells you every so often and online you have already gone down say 4-5 points, you could in theory be eating to many points for a few weeks or a month especially if you only followed what the leader...

    Silly question but what does ww mean by a cup?

    You can buy measuring jugs from places like Tesco that have cups on them as a form of measurement. You can also find around, sets of cups on a sort of key chain (her is an example in case you didn't know) http://www.cakescookiesandcraftsshop.co.uk/acatalog/Measuring-Cups-Stainless-Steel.html...

    Back for good, finally....

    Thanks for the replies.. We have decided to give PP another try, purely becauce my hubby really needs to be attending meetings as he gets a little to complacent about it all at home. He gained a stone while not attending meetings, and I lost 1 lbs which I think is good considering near the end...

    How do I change the first day of the week, I track my food online?

    I'm pretty sure in the long run it won't its just a pain thats all, cause its like they don't take into account that some people weigh in, in the evening and might want to start a fresh with there daily and weekly points for a new week, the day after.. Thanks anyway for the replies/help

    How do I change the first day of the week, I track my food online?

    Thanks it does work though not the way I want it too. Now I go too Weight Tracker and it thinks I weigh in on a Thursday and is asking me what my weight is (as if I got weighed today) Suppose I could just change the day for printing purposes and then change it back when I want to track my...

    Monthly Pass (something I don't get)

    Thanks, its not that my leader put any figures in wrong just she only checks it after 14lbs to see how much your points allowance has changed by, either that or you ask her and she will check.. I'll stick with online for now for him, thanks again..
  101. zebredy

    Monthly Pass (something I don't get)

    Well I know with the old ww plan once you went into the next stone bracket (like 14 something - 13 something) you went down in daily points, but last time I went (which was when PP started in the UK) I was told that my daily points allowance would be recalculated for me when I lost like 14lbs...
  102. zebredy

    Monthly Pass (something I don't get)

    I got the impression that once you lose a stone in weight then you go down points, and if you don't have a calculator then your leader will let you know what your new daily points allowance is. (Please feel free to correct me at any point, if wrong) Thats all ok, I get that. But now my...

    caryl this might help if you don't already have a calculator of phone app Weight Watchers Points Calculator (it is posted a couple times on this site) Comes in very hand for me as the WW book (if you ever get it) can sometimes say different points for the item you have, like I have turkey...

    First weigh-in yesterday :) PP works and not just for me

    Well yesterday at the meeting we did talk briefly about takeaways and how many points might be in a pukapie, no one new but I did say I thought it had hydrogenated fat in it so it must be high (please correct me if wrong) which is good cause doing WW I can eat more for my points if I chose the...

    First weigh-in yesterday :) PP works and not just for me

    Thanks, its always nice to hear others comments. Sounds weird (don't know if anyone gets this) but every time I lose weight, I feel like I want to let everyone know as I'm so pleased with myself, as I'm sure others are when they lose weight (hope that makes sense)
  122. zebredy

    First weigh-in yesterday :) PP works and not just for me

    Yesterday I had my first weigh in at a meeting. Glad to say I lost 3lbs, oh and the other half lost 7lbs :) I'm more pleased with my husband then myself (cause even though I struggle to tell if I have lost or not unlike discovery, due to being allowed treats with PP etc) I kinda thought I...

    Glad I had the jellies on hand today, (really helped fill me up) I ate 4 (which I made from the sugar free sachets) and then another 1 which was a 10cal one from the shops. Not sure if I should point that as 1 or 2 points but have left 2 for it just in case..

    rice, cous cous, pasta - same points when cooked

    yes For example if I point 40g of pasta at 4 points (1point per 10g) then once cooked no matter how much it weighs (I have never checked weight after cooked no need really) it is still 4points once drained. Hope that makes sense and helps?
  129. zebredy

    My Izzy isn't well... :(

    I need cheering up. My cat Izzy has to go to vets today at 3pm :( I'm not entirely sure what is wrong with her but if she is just constipated then £26.30 is a lot to find that out, but I would rather have peace of mind. When she goes to the toilet she is bleeding a little, and its been for...

    HONK if you were 100% today! (weeklies allowed)

    HONK (well could honk all week since since I weighed in Wednesday evening) Can't remember what I have eaten so far, but used 6 weeklies only so far (though for some reason I still feel guilty for doing it, and like I might not lose as much as if I had not used them)

    Cool thanks.. My hubby is similar to you people on 35. He is on 48 a day at the mo, and with so many he doesn't think he will ever need to use the weekly points. I have this stupid theory that my body would get used to only 29 points a day (not counting the weekly points) so if after a month...

    Urgent help needed before a possible meeting tonight

    Your not the only one finding the new system hard. Its the same with other things in life, there are some that struggle and others that find the same thing a piece of cake. It might have helped if I had never done Discovery Plan with my OH before I don't know, all I do know is that DP...
